I think WP.com-hosted blogs are assigned their own Alexa ranking separate from the traffic ranking of WordPress.com. For some anyway. That's one of the points that I raised - which is the inconsistency (assuming we understand what Alexa is doing) in the application of Alexa's ranking system. With regard to Alexa not showing its own ranking, that I really find not only interesting but amusing. Why a company would like to hide its own ranking is something I cannot understand. Alexa has assigned traffic ranks to practically all websites, and yet it does not want to reveal its own ranking? Hi Dave

That’s one of the points that I raised – which is the inconsistency (assuming we understand what Alexa is doing) in the application of Alexa’s ranking system.

So if I am understanding you correctly, your blog that you set up on wp was a blog hosted by wp which had a completely different alexa rank than the main url of wp.com? That is odd. My alexa rank is 454,210 throughout my entire site. I am running 3 separate scripts on one url and it doesn't matter which one your on the alexa rank is the same. I also find it interesting that Alexa doesn't want their own alexa ranking to be known and that google sits at number 1. Ironic. Thats a good point.
